The committee meeting was presided over by Cyberabad police commissioner M. Stephen Raveendra and judicial officer Ramesh Babu and attended by Cyberabad DCP Crimes Rohini Priyadarshini, DCP Economic Offences Wing (EOW) Kavitha Dara, inspector Bhaskar.
The committee discussed on issues related to auction of movable and immovable properties and modalities and procedures to be followed in thier auction, enlisting deserving depositors and developing a transparent system to conduct public auction and distribute the amount to the depositors.
The committee fixed timelines for each task and decided to meet every week to meet the court’s four-week deadline. The commissioner directed the committee to submit periodic progress reports to the court.
